800 Illegally

The average teenager has 800 illegally copied songs on their digital media player.800!This doesn't include the music that they might have actually paid for.Almost half of all music the average teenager carries with them is illegal.If they were to have purchased those from itunes they would have spent $792. Conservatively speaking $792 would purchase 44 cds from a store (at a generous fee of $18 per). I'm curious what would happen if I were to walk out of a store with 44 unpurchased cds.

And my brothers and sisters (my actually brothers and sisters, not church talk here...although church talk may also apply) wonder why I think it's wrong.

It's never about one or two songs, because it doesn't ever end with just one or two...it ends around 800.
